BRIDGING THE GAP

What is A.A.’s Bridging the Gap? Bridging the Gap is a temporary contact program through which A.A. members connect with people leaving treatment facilities and help introduce them to meetings.In and out of A.A. for years, I always heard “Get into service”... “Be a part of”... “Stay in the middle”... but of course, being the alco-holic that I am, I didn’t listen to any of it. And I didn’t stay sober.Eventually my drinking led me into a 72-hour detox facility. While I was there, Bridging the Gap came in and made a pre-sentation. As fuzzy as my brain was at the time, what they said really reached me and I thought of Bridging the Gap often after-wards, especially as I grew in my sobriety and in my commitment to A.A.Right around the time that I was becoming

serious about getting into service, I got my sign. At my home group meeting, Tom F. stood up and announced that Bridging the Gap had a service commitment available. Wow! Talk about timing.It’s been six months since I attended a Bridging the Gap new volunteer orienta-tion and was voted into my current service position of Ladies Phone Coordinator. I love being in service - working with a wonderful, dedicated group of fellow alco-holics helping to bridge the gap between treatment centers and the fellowship of A.A. is incredibly rewarding.Now I am in service, I am a part of, I am stay-ing in the middle and I am staying sober - one day at a time.

Gratefully in Service, Ginger H.

HAPPY TRAILSThe Happy Trails group will be hiking to Mount Burdell on November 29. They go on di�erent hikes the last Sunday of every month; see calendar for time. 291-2435

“The idea of ‘twenty four hour living’ applies primarily to the emotional life of the individual. Emotionally speaking, we must not live in yesterday, not in tomorrow.But I have never been able to see that this means the individual, the group, or A.A. as whole should give no thought whatever to how to function tomorrow or even in the more distant future. Faith alone never constructed the house you live in. There had to be a blueprint and a lot of hard work to bring it into reality.Nothing is truer for us of A.A. than the Biblical saying, ‘Faith with-out works is dead’. A.A.’s services, all designed to make more and better Twelfth Step work possible, are the ‘works’ that insure our life and growth by preventing anarchy or stagnation.” [Letter from Bill W., 1954] The November 4, 2015 meeting of the Hospitals and Institu-tions Committee extended an appreciative welcome to the new meeting reps: John T., representing Lost Then Found (Healdsburg); James P., Monday Night Speaker Meeting; Mark F., Drop the Rock (Cotati); David O., The Rooms (Sebastopol); Melissa T., Women’s Step Study and Discussion; Ed W., Monday Night A.A. Stag Meeting (Sebastopol); Jim B., Not Just Another Newcomer Meeting (Rohnert Park); and Michelle V., Sunday Morning Smiles Group.Welcome also to our visitor Kim - keep coming back!Over 80 grateful years of sobriety were celebrated for the month of November.Looking for a way to be of service to an alcoholic who is con-�ned? For suggestions on how to do just that, please come to the next meeting of the H&I Committee, Wednesday, December 2 at 6:15 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend the orientation that begins at 5:45 pm. The location is the Community of Christ Church at 1495 W. Steele Lane and Range Avenue. Parking is behind the church o� Range Avenue with additional parking at the ice arena.In service,Mardi

NCCAA CONFERENCE PLANNING MEETINGS

GENERAL SERVICEFor our Area, our District, and for many groups, it is still inven-tory season. However, we each might do well to consider a per-sonal inventory. The Tenth Step mentions an annual examina-tion of what works and what doesn’t work in our lives. I think a personal inventory might also include a gratitude list to cel-ebrate what is good in our lives. A recent speaker, with tears in her eyes, expressed gratitude for the fellowship and for the dif-ference each of us has made in her life. We should all celebrate. - Bob S.
